Isabella

I find comparison of this photo and the preceding one interesting. Although she is relaxed and enjoying being on this stepping stone in the pond of Maymont's Japanese Garden, in the preceding one -- taken just a few minutes earlier -- she was wary of being alone on a much larger peninsula in the pond. She was not quite 2-1/2 when these were taken. (Carol was close by on another of the stepping stones, just barely out of the picture.)
